General Hospital has faced challenges with retaining actors, which has caused confusion among fans due to constant recasting. While the show has shown improvement in terms of storylines and sets, the issue of actors departing and being replaced remains a concern. In comparison, The Young and the Restless seems to have better actor retention, with some actors staying on the show for decades. However, some viewers still find Y&R boring, citing a lack of action and overly focused storylines on business. On the other hand, there are fans who appreciate the diversity and excitement that General Hospital offers, considering it to be on fire most of the time.
